(1) Hades is a Norwegian band, founded in 1992 by Erstwhile Immortal guitarist Jorn Inge Tunsberg along with ex-Dark drummer Remi, adopted the addition of their home country to their name after their 1993 demo 'Alone Walkyng' appeared following protests from the American Hades. This opening session saw the founding duo joined by Janto Garmanslund on bass and vocals with Nagel on guitar. 'Alone Walkyng' saw a commercial issue through the Vantgarde subsidiary Wounded Love Records. The band's debut album, issued in December of 1994 and finding Stig usurping Nagel as second guitarist, had the group offering familiar Norwegian Black Metal based around Viking and pagan themes.
With the release of the 1997 album 'Dawn Of The Dying Sun' the record company took the opportunity to reacquaint the public with the 1994 debut, releasing both albums together as a double vinyl album set limited to 1'000 copies. To back up this release the band put in extensive touring, which saw a burst of dates across not only Europe but also Mexico and the USA. The transition from HADES to HADES ALMIGHTY was marked in September of 1998 as the band entered the Prolog Studio in Dortmund, Germany to record the exceptionally dark and ominous album 'Millenium Nocturne', released under license from Nuclear Blast by Hammerheart Records. A Benelux tour allied with MAYHEM and PRIMORDIAL preceded a further campaign across Europe in league with IMMORTAL and BENEDICTION.
(2) Hades is a thrash metal band formed in New Jersey in 1978. The original members were still in high school when the band was formed and it wasn't until the '80s that Hades made it to a wider audeince, touring heavily and opening for bands such Megadeth, Slayer, Anthrax and Nuclear Assault.
After having songs appear on Metal Blade's Metal Massacre VI and Megaforce's Born To Metalize compilation albums, Hades released their debut album, Resisting Success in 1987 and the follow-up, If At First You Don't Succeed in 1989.
After a tour of Europe in 1989 they broke up, with members moving on to other bands.
Hades re-formed in 1999, releasing three albums for the Metal Blade label.
In 2008, the CruzDelSur label released the Hades live DVD, filmed at a show in Boston in December 1988, where the band opened for Manowar and Nuclear Assault. Also included was the 'Behind The Metal' documentary, filmed during the recording of the 2000 - The Downside album featuring interviews with the bandmembers as well as old video clips, TV appearances and live footage.

(4) Hades was a Norwegian prog rock group, hailing from the county of Vestfold. Their music has been described as a blend of Cream and Jethro Tull, with a distinct flute that makes up the melody lines together with the occasional strong bluesy guitar licks. Although they only released one vinyl/Mini LP (LP Colours COMLP 007, 1992, originaly recorded live in 1974) on Colours records in 1992 they sound remarkingly experienced on this recording. They sang in norwegian. The original vinyl is only in a 1000 ex., and must be quite rare nowadays.

Doubt
Hades Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It serves to fool and distract him
While slowly everything's haunted, cursed and stained
His temple that was his home
Showed itself as mere cold stone
To finally feel all alone is horribly purifying
And it's doubt that fills my head
Dreadful doubt dripping in dread
Leave me to live in my own world
I've had enough of yours
Follow the program and make plans
To become self-assured
Didn't end up the golden champion
Ended up on the floor
[CHORUS]
[CHORUS]
Paid all the dues I could afford
But what was due me got lost
Found I had gained some small respect
But I get little more
They say if at first you don't succeed
Leave well enough alone
Could never live just for the dollar
'Cause life is only unknown
The lyrics in Hades's song Doubt describe a person who is blinded by their own desires and ideals, leading them to ignore the darker aspects of reality. The first verse suggests that this person only sees what they want, distracting themselves from the fact that everything around them is slowly becoming more and more cursed and stained. The second verse continues this theme, painting a picture of a person who places value in material possessions, only to later realize that these things cannot provide true comfort or companionship. The chorus of the song highlights the feelings of doubt that plague the singer, as they struggle to make sense of a world that seems to be falling apart.
Overall, the lyrics in Doubt explore themes of disillusionment and uncertainty, as well as the disconnect between what people want to believe and what is actually true. The song suggests that it is only by confronting our doubts and facing the unknown that we can truly find solace and meaning in life.
Line by Line Meaning
He only sees what he wants
His narrow-mindedness blinds him from seeing the truth
It serves to fool and distract him
This approach helps him avoid facing his fears and flaws
While slowly everything's haunted, cursed and stained
Despite his ignorance, everything around him becomes tainted
His temple that was his home
The once well-known place he relied on has changed
Showed itself as mere cold stone
It's not what it used to be and holds no warmth or comfort
To finally feel all alone is horribly purifying
Tackling isolation and feeling alone can be a transformative experience
And it's doubt that fills my head
He's consumed by the uncertainty of his situation
Dreadful doubt dripping in dread
The magnitude of his doubt and anxiety compounds
Leave me to live in my own world
He desires to live life on his terms
I've had enough of yours
He's tired of being forced to conform to societal norms
Follow the program and make plans
The pressure from others to conform to their plan for him is overwhelming
To become self-assured
Self-confidence is important, but not at any cost
Didn't end up the golden champion
He didn't achieve the success he hoped for
Ended up on the floor
He's been knocked down by life's difficulties
Paid all the dues I could afford
He's put in a lot of effort to get where he is
But what was due me got lost
Despite his best efforts, he's not reaping what he sowed
Found I had gained some small respect
He's gained some level of recognition, but not enough
But I get little more
The recognition he's received is not enough to fulfill him
They say if at first you don't succeed
Others suggest trying again if one fails at first
Leave well enough alone
However, sometimes it's best to not overdo things
Could never live just for the dollar
Riches and material gains aren't enough to satisfy him
'Cause life is only unknown
The uncertainties of life make it difficult to find one's true purpose or meaning
